MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 14 Native spirit
On the outskirts of Tianshui Town, under the veins of Longji Mountain
"We have searched every piece of land near here. Are you sure the cave is near here?" Hahn complained to Jack while sitting on a raised stone.
"I don't know where the entrance is, but it should be here." "Monkey" said dejectedly. A group of people has wasted half a day here looking for the entrance to the cave, but so far they have found nothing.
"Maybe you remembered wrong, maybe the entrance to the cave is not here." Said the proprietress. She also gave up searching. The female warrior Mona did not speak, but she nodded in favor when Elsa spoke.
"But what I remember hearing is this ..." Jack hugged his head in distress.
"Maybe your father just blew a cow, and he didn't know where the cave entrance was." Hahn said.
Jack is still to refute, but the female warrior spoke first.
"Okay, you can't find it if you can't find it. Although it took some time, you should still have time to go to Valley City." The female soldier said she was ready to get up, but at this time, she hadn't talked about the cheese. Suddenly said.
"I found the entrance to the cave." The mage stood up and walked in one direction. The remaining four people looked at each other, after all, from the beginning of the search for the cave, the cheese had been sitting on the spot without participating in the search. Elsa, they only work as mages because of their injuries and their physical strength is limited. Whoever thinks that the only one of the five people who finds it is him.
"Isn't he just sitting here just now?" Jack asked Hahn in a low voice.
"Yeah, I don't think he has ever moved at all." "Wild Boar" also wondered.
Mona and the boss lady didn't speak, but just followed the cheese. Mona was a little talkative, and many times the soldier preferred to execute rather than discuss. The boss lady had seen all kinds of magical spells cast by the cheese when she was in the town. She had an inexplicable confidence in the skill of the cheese.
Soon, a group of people came to a rock wall, and a small stream flowed from the bottom of the rock wall, and merged into the larger water flow in the distance along the terrain. Other than that, the surrounding environment seems to be no different than nearby. Just as Hahn was about to export and question where the mage's entrance was, there was a sudden noise in the grass beside him.
"Who is it!" The three Frost Guards quickly withdrew their weapons, sandwiching the cheese and Elsa, and the three were alert in three directions. As the "wild boar" shouted, the movement in the grass quickly disappeared.
"Put the weapon down, you scared it." The cheese frowned, and at the same time reached out to press down the broad-bladed sword in Mona's hand. He took the initiative to walk out of the protection circle of the three warriors and approached the grass that had just made a noise.
"Wait ..." Hahn and Jack were still trying to stop the cheese, but they were pressed by Elsa and Mona, because from their perspective, they vaguely saw what was in the grass.
The thing saw the cheese leaving the crowd, and Mona, after they had put their weapons away, seemed to be emboldened. After waiting for a while and finding out that they were indeed hostile, they finally walked out of the grass.
What is this? Elsa and four others could not believe their eyes. They saw a creature resembling a human child coming out of the grass. It has earthy green skin and is dressed in a dress made of leaves, and its height reaches the waist of an ordinary adult. Its facial features are similar to human children, except that it has a large, somewhat funny nose with green hair on the top of the head. It can be seen that these hairs are cleaned, and it is also dotted with a wild flower with dew. .
The creature carefully left the grass, just like the cub that left the cave for the first time. It used its gray-brown eyes to look at the lady boss as if they were confirming whether they were a threat. Elsa noticed that there was no white eyes in the creature's eyes, and the whole eyes were like a gray-brown pebble.
"Relax, they won't hurt you. (Unknown)" The cheese walked carefully in front of this creature, and spit out a language he had never heard before. At the same time, with his hands behind his back, he signaled the others to be quiet.
After watching the creature shaking its head for a while, it seemed to finally send out vigilance. It chatted to the cheese for a while, and at the same time gesticulated something. The lady boss guessed that it should be the same language as the cheese. In the call of this creature, the cheese occasionally intervenes, asking for some details in the previous language, and then the little guy will tweeted a response after thinking for a while.
In this way, under the onlookers of the remaining four people, the cheese chatted with the creature for a short period of time. Judging from the expression of the mage, he should have obtained the information he wanted from the other party. So before finishing the communication, he took out a bag from the cloak, poured out a few fruits that Elsa had never seen, and handed it to the creature. The creature made a pleasant cry and quickly put the fruit in the cheese into his mouth. The mage smiled, then handed the entire bag to the other party. A burst of small cheers came from the surrounding grass, and Elsa they were surprised to find that there was no time to hide many such small creatures in the surrounding grass. The little creature who came out to talk to the cheese was also very happy when he got the bag. It made a harsh scream, and the proprietress guessed it was calling her companion, because soon the little guys in the grass popped out of the grass, Go to the bag and ask for fruit. The little creatures talking to the cheese seem to be the leader of this group of creatures. They distribute the fruit one by one and look very serious, but because of its image, the serious look makes people feel forbearing.
"These are goblins. They usually live in forests and valleys. For them, the nearby cave is as familiar as their backyard." The cheese walked back to the crowd and said.
"You mean, they know where the cave entrance is?" Mona asked.
"According to their accounts, the residents of the town did move into the cave one after another in the previous month, and they said that the town residents blew up the nearby entrance because there were huge rats constantly attacking them. "" The mage nodded and said.
"Then how do we get in? Those town residents probably didn't plan to come out in a short time, they evacuated the entire town's grain reserves, which is at least enough to consume them until spring. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Hahn asked.
"Don't worry, our new friends say they know some entrances that humans don't know. As their friends, they are happy to take us to find our kind." The mage said with a smile.
Soon, the land spirits ate up the gifts given by their friends, and then under the leadership of the land spirit who talked with the cheese, a whole group of land spirits huddled around the cheese and other people. Move forward to what they say.
"It's hard to imagine, I have never seen such a creature before." Elsa looked at the earth spirits around her and whispered.
"It's just a group of timid little guys who like to lively. They actually often observe humans entering their living area. But because they are afraid of life, they only dare to watch from a distance." The mage said.
"Then how do you know them? Is this also one of your mage courses?" The lady boss asked curiously.
"That's not true. Although some mages like to raise terrestrial spirits to do some simple work, they rarely communicate with them. Terrestrial spirits have high intelligence, they can understand human language, but it is not due to physiological structure. How to pronounce it. As for how I know them so well, it ’s a bit long story, I ’ll tell it when I have time. ”The cheese replied.
Under the explanation of the mage, the other members of the team quickly realized that these terrestrial spirits were very kind creatures. They were simply happy and carefree, because of their affinity for plants and land, and the hungry ratmen. It is difficult to find them. So even under the ravages of the plague, these terrestrial spirits are still at ease. Being crowded with such a group of pistachios, the tense nerves of the team members were temporarily relieved. Their faces more or less showed a long-lost smile.
